How's everyone coping with this cold weather? My pond went from 9.5ºC to 3.1ºC. Fish are now sat at the bottom waiting for warmer weather like the rest of us brrr

Take care

How do you heat your pond tony? I have never heated so it's always cold this time of year, but it's always been ok. Just stop feeding till it's warmer

I heat with electricity.
Do you cover yours? I have some spare large polycarbonate sheets that you can have free to a good home if you don't Think I have 6 they are 3meters x 800 x 30 thick approx.

I would cover the pond at that temp the fish will not be happy and may end up with sores or bent.
